Why does this product have a warning label that says: "This product contains lead" ? why would you put lead in it? I am upset!

"Macrolife's website has a page about the issue; the lead content is no higher than that of the foods it is made from." This is the response from a previously asked question on the Macro Reds products. This has to do with Prop 65. A direct quote from the Macrogreens website, to put this in perspective: "Natural green beans contain 28.75 micrograms of lead in a one cup serving, which is an exposure of approximately 50 times the allowed Prop 65 levels."

It's because of California's Prop 65. Lead occurs naturally in MANY vegetables, fruits, etc. That's what the label is about. Don't be upset - just educate yourself. You can start at MacroLife's website. They have a great explanation about the lead warning there.

It is NOT lead free. In product details you can read: Proposition 65 warning!

The package has the same lead warning as the powdered clay. I just checked my bottle of the Daily Detox. Hope this helps.

There was no name on them. Someone asked if they contain lead. I never even thought of that.If you find out please email me. Thanks

I don't know. Possibly. I don't think the package says lead free. Ask the manufacturer.

I don't think any stainless steel contains lead. Also I think it would be illegal to sell food grade items with lead in them (you'll notice expensive stainless steel flatware doesn't mention being lead free as a selling point.). I'll also note that this isn't some random brand, I have seen it used in actual restaurants (noticed after I purchased).

Their label has a warning on it that states: Thus product contains TRACE AMOUNTS of lead and may not be appropriate for consumption by children and pregnant women. But I also wanted to know that, I did some research and now its required they tell you that but the amount in it is very low if detectable at all. Most if not all clay has some amount or other. Hope that helps I do highly recommend it. I have a 20month old son and I use it for him and I and his ped said she hasn't seen any signs of there being lead there.

I bought it because i assumed that it didn't have lead. It is wonderful for bread that is why i bought it.

There is no lead in this product. Any prop 65 warnings you see are because the state in which the product is made has laws concerning notices about lead. You might notice it on buildings in states like CA, as well. The product is lead-free. The state is over-zealous on labeling.

Doesn't Healthy Stuff testing show the lead content? Don't you think they should? I do not know what the lead content is, but I bought this hose (2 of them actually) as the description states "Commercial grade machined brass fittings are specially plated to prevent lead from leaching into the water. A truly drinking water safe product." It is a tough choice: plastic fittings, which have no lead, but may break easily, or brass fittings, with lead, which are more durable. I honestly don't know what the best answer is, and no, I do not have a better answer to your question. I wish I did. Doesn't Healthy Stuff testing show the lead content? Don't you think they should?

I'm betting that warning is given to cover the wacko laws of the State of California. I've taken my unit apart and have seen no lead solder or any other source of lead. It could be that some odd part might have a lead ratio of one lead atom to a trillion of some other metal. Masterbuilt is a reputable company. I seriously doubt if they are going to put any product on the market with a measurable lead content. They are big on customer service and satisfaction. Buy the unit and enjoy it!

To be honest it's probably just because there is a bit of lead used in some of the metal. Totally outrageous and pointless to tell us about, no ones going to be eating this thing.

I assumed they were lead free because it would have been noted on the package. Check with manufacturer.

It came with one piece of lead in it, presumably No 2, with no mentioned brand. If you're wondering what type of lead to use, any type of 0.5 mm will do.

Why would anyone? Its plastic not painted metal and its new. It should not have lead.

I do not use any product that comes in contact with food...if it is made in China (as this is). Due to lead content in virtually all products made there and their lack of any real quality control standards, you just cannot trust the quality.
